Do we allow for self taught doctors or accountants?

Is this limitation good? Furthermore, software development is something very easy to learn with 0 consequences.

Also, these regulations aren't being developed for all servers, just ones that can cause major economic damage if they stop functioning.

Many of those have excellent self-taught devs developing software for them- I know some of them.

And you don't need everyone to be qualified to run the service. How many water treatment pants are there where you only have a small set of managers running the plant, but most people aren't licensed to do so?

1. Maintenance is very different from software development.

2. Good software development requires at minimum expansive automated testing...
